Our 11-Step ID Guarantee

Your loved one is guaranteed the highest quality care from us. Our 11-Step ID Process ensures that your loved one is correctly identified during each step of the cremation process. You can relax knowing that your loved one is in good hands.

A non-combustible, identifying tag which includes their full name is placed on your loved one the moment they enter our care.

A family member positively identifies your loved one, confirming the identification tag.

They will be asked to provide a license or state-issued ID to confirm their relationship to the recently departed.

Your loved one is placed in the cremation container of your choice, with their name clearly written on it and matching the identification tag. – if no container is chosen, we place your loved one in a proper container to ensure proper safety and discretion – (we go the extra step and place all bodies in a container)

You and your loved one’s family will be invited to view the recently departed.

The death is recorded with the State of Pennsylvania after a medical evaluation. A cremation permit is issued.

Your signature authorizes us to cremate the recently deceased. Cremation will not be authorized until we receive your signature and the crematory operators have double-checked the forms.

A written record is created that includes the deceased’s name, age, date of death, identification number, time of cremation, crematory operator and the cremation container.

This record is placed in a secure location.

A certified crematory operator verifies that all the information is correct and matches the record created for your loved one.

The identifying tag remains on your loved one as cremation takes place.

After cremation, the remains and identifying tag are immediately placed in the urn or container chosen by the family that has the deceased’s name already printed on it.

The remains of your loved one are placed back in your care.
